Congratulations to Allison
Couillard, our May Yogi of The Month! Here's what Allison has to say about her practice.
I have tried several styles of yoga since
starting my practice almost ten years ago, but none of them made me feel as
strong as the vinyasa flow at Milwaukee Power Yoga. Since making it a
habit to get on my mat on a regular basis, I have noticed so many benefits.
Being an impatient person, I constantly think about what is ahead, but
now I am more patient and I have my yoga practice to thank. During class
I try to focus on the pose I am doing, not what is coming next. When I’m
in a challenging balance pose like Warrior Three, I concentrate on calming my
breath even though I feel like I’m going to fall. This has translated to
other areas of my life and I notice myself keeping calm during stressful
situations at work and in life. In the short year I have been practicing
at Milwaukee Power Yoga, I have grown much as a yogi. I had never tried
any arm balances or inversions before, but the instructors are so encouraging
that I am now at ease trying poses that take me out of my comfort zone.
Every class is challenging yet restorative and I always leave feeling
relaxed. I am so grateful to have found Milwaukee Power Yoga, a studio
that has helped me finally discover a style of yoga that I truly love.
Thanks
Allison for sharing your experience with us. We love to hear about the ways yoga
has inspired your life both on and off the mat!
